Report: YouTube adding individualized ID tag to links shared off-platform

ClearURLs implemented the rule to remove the si attribute on November 5th[1].
I think a better approach though is to whitelist allowed attributes rather than blacklist disallowed attributes. For example, if you get a URL starting "https://www.youtube.com/watch?" then the only allowed attributes are v, t, etc and everything else would be stripped.

ClearURLs – automatically remove tracking elements from URLs

I like this idea. I've been using a bit of Ruby wrapped into my shell to remove Facebook's tracking from links[1] but it's nice to have so many in one place that we all can contribute to.
It seems the interesting bit (for me) is in the Rules[2] repo.
